We examined technology use patterns (e.g., mobile phone and computer ownership, text messaging, internet access) and preferences for adopting health information technologies to optimize office-based treatment for substance use disorders, HIV, and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Surveys were administered to patients enrolled in inpatient detoxification program in a publicly-funded tertiary referral center. Most reported mobile phone ownership (86%) and described high rates of mobile phone (3.3) and phone number (2.6) turnover in the preceding year. Internet access was reported on a daily (52%) or weekly basis (22%). Most participants were amenable to receiving text message-based informational content (i.e., medications, support groups, treatment programs) pertaining to substance use disorders (79%), HIV (50%), and HCV care (58%). Respondents reporting less than high school education and past year incarcerated elicited higher favorability in adopting smartphone apps to facilitate peer sharing of HIV-HCV related content. Results suggest high favorability for adopting health information technologies to enhance office-based treatment for substance use disorders, HIV, and HCV, particularly among vulnerable patient sub-groups.
我们研究了技术使用模式（如手机和电脑的拥有情况、短信使用、互联网接入）以及采用健康信息技术以优化针对物质使用障碍、艾滋病毒和丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染的门诊治疗的偏好。对一家公立三级转诊中心住院戒毒项目的患者进行了调查。大多数人报告拥有手机（86%），并描述了上一年手机更换率（3.3次）和电话号码更换率（2.6次）很高。报告每天（52%）或每周（22%）使用互联网。大多数参与者愿意接收与物质使用障碍（79%）、艾滋病毒（50%）和丙型肝炎护理（58%）相关的基于短信的信息内容（即药物、支持小组、治疗项目）。报告受教育程度低于高中且过去一年曾被监禁的受访者对采用智能手机应用程序促进艾滋病毒-丙型肝炎相关内容的同伴分享表现出更高的好感度。结果表明，采用健康信息技术以加强针对物质使用障碍、艾滋病毒和丙型肝炎的门诊治疗具有很高的好感度，尤其是在弱势患者亚组中。
